Tank Flushing
Step 1: Prior to installa:on the tank should be flushed. Flushing the tank is necessary to
remove ac:vated carbon-dust residue from the tank. The dust is harmless.
Flush the tank in the following manner:
A. Place outside onto the driveway, or an area where water flow onto the ground will
have runoff.
B. Connect the supplied hose connector to the portal marked “DOWNFLOW INLET”.
Aoach water hose to the hose connector then turn the water on and flush the tank.
Dark gray water will flow from the outlet which is normal. Con:nue flushing the tank
for 10 minutes or un:l the water becomes clear. (NOTE: briefly running water into the
“DOWNFLOW INLET” to flush the system will not harm the system.)
C. Remove the hose connector and aoach it on the portal marked “UPFLOW INLET” and
flush for 10 minutes or un:l water becomes clear.
D. Turn water off.
E. Detach hose from hose connector and leave the connector aoached to the tank.
F. Leave the tank full of water.
G. Allow tank to set for 24-48 hours. This helps saturate the ac:vated carbon.
H. Reconnect hose connector to “DOWNFLOW INLET
and flush for 10 minutes or un:l
water becomes clear.
